"Because of his remorselessness, Trump can’t help but:

"Blithely ignore democratic norms, the tragedy of lost lives, or appeals from anyone to rein in his reckless and derelict behavior
Set any limits on his behavior since he is undaunted by the fear of punishment

"Deflect all responsibility for any damage he may inflict. Have no feeling of discomfort at the suffering of others, and Be lax in his response to legitimate threats because of his inability to process emotions related to danger.

"In conclusion, like any diagnosed psychopath/malignant narcissist, Donald Trump has had to suffer a life devoid of love, depth, conscience, or any hope of self-discipline. It is a life incapable of developing a caring obligation toward others, incapable of remorse for callous or immoral behavior, and incapable of pursuing anything beyond his immediate self-interest.…"

"Last fall, Eric Klopfer decided to conduct an experiment in his undergraduate computer science class at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He divided the class into three groups and gave them a programming task to solve in the Fortran language, which none of them knew.

"One group was allowed to use ChatGPT to solve the problem, the second group was told to use Meta’s Code Llama large language model (LLM), and the third group could only use Google. The group that used ChatGPT, predictably, solved the problem quickest, while it took the second group longer to solve it. It took the group using Google even longer, because they had to break the task down into components.

"Then, the students were tested on how they solved the problem from memory, and the tables turned. The ChatGPT group “remembered nothing, and they all failed,” …

"Meanwhile, half of the Code Llama group passed the test. The group that used Google? Every student passed."

"What makes Project 2025 so insidious is that any one recommendation may not raise red flags to everyday voters. For example, calling on the federal government to “prioritize funding for home-based childcare, not universal day care,” probably won’t sound so terrible to someone who would like extra support to be able to stay home with their toddler. But when you read that language in the context of the rest of the document—which calls for the end of birth control and women’s ability to get life-saving care—a much more nefarious picture emerges.

…

"Project 2025 has a very detailed plan to end abortion in the U.S. It’s not a coincidence that they want to rename the Department of Health and Human Services the “Department for Life.” That’s how big the groups behind this document see the federal government’s role in ending women’s reproductive rights."

"Under Project 2025, people who go to federally funded clinics for affordable birth control would instead be told to go get married.

"Under the Radar: Republicans have already started their attacks on birth control for teenagers, and Project 2025 gives us a disturbing hint at what might come next. In the section about abortion medication, the document warns about the “potential impacts of the hormone-blocking regimen on the developing bodies of adolescent girls.” This is an argument I suspect we’re going to see used against contraception as well. Just as conservatives claim gender-affirming care shouldn’t be given to minors, they’ll say the same about hormonal birth control."

"Under the Radar: Project 2025 doesn’t only call for the criminalization of mailing abortion medication but also the “interstate carriage of abortion drugs.” That means they want to criminalize anyone who transports abortion pills from one state to another in any way. In their America, someone who drives abortion medication just a few miles across a border is a ‘drug trafficker.’

How Project 2025 Restricts Birth Control

Feminists have been warning about conservatives’ attacks on birth control for decades, and Project 2025 makes clear that all those fears were well-founded.

Emergency Contraception: Project 2025 redefines emergency contraception as an abortifacient, calling it the “week-after-pill.” The idea is to make emergency contraception—commonly known as the morning-after pill—seem less like birth control. This tactic is one conservatives have been laying the groundwork for over years, one we’ve covered often at Abortion, Every Day…"

Project 2025’s vision for women was never going to be limited to rolling back abortion rights.

The goal is to force women back into the home, for good.

Project 2025 attacks early childhood education, for example, claiming that children in daycare “experience higher rates of anxiety, depression, and neglect.” The plan calls for abandoning any plans for universal pre-k, instead diverting funding to “offset the cost of staying home with a child” and “home-based childcare.” Who will be at home providing this care? I think we all know.

"The document calls for the CDC (now housed under the “Department of Life”) to create a national abortion database and adopt a surveillance system requiring all states to report “exactly how many abortions take place within its borders.”

"But here’s the thing: While Project 2025 calls this ‘abortion data,’ what they’re really talking about is pregnancy data. Under a Trump presidency, this mandate wouldn’t just require states to report abortions—it would require reporting any pregnancy that doesn’t end in a live birth. The document says the CDC should collect data on every abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth and even “treatments that incidentally result in the death of a child (such as chemotherapy).”

(Quote from today's rally.) Trump doesn't always lie. He really thinks if he becomes president he can prevent any future elections.

He also just admitted he isn't a Christian — not that the Evangelicals who voted for him before care. They've rationalized that God is "using" him so every bad thing he did is "part of God's plan."

He's desperate and his senility is keeping him from hiding it

@thomasfuchs I worked for Pixera, which made digital cameras that were primarily used on microscopes. Worked on the Mac software, mostly, still PowerPC if I recall correctly.

the innovation of the camera was taking four images, shifted a half-pixel for 3 of them, getting an interpolated high resolution image.

Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. Were Close to Being Charged With Felony Fraud — ProPublica

"In the spring of 2012, Donald Trump’s two eldest children, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr., found themselves in a precarious legal position. For two years, prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office had been building a criminal case against them for misleading prospective buyers of units in the Trump SoHo, a hotel and condo development that was failing to sell…"
